SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — Sheboygan police are looking for a man with sticky fingers after he tried to steal a peanut M&M statue from a local grocery store.

Police say a man left a Pick N’ Save store around 4:10 p.m. Saturday carrying a three-foot-tall, yellow M&M statue but an employee saw him and followed him to his vehicle. The man put the statue in his back seat, and the employee confronted him.

The thief offered the employee $5 for the statue, which is actually worth about $50.

Police say the employee grabbed the statue out of the vehicle and the man drove away.

Captain David Derus says an officer was following up on the theft Sunday.

He should have went to Target, an employee would just watch him take the statue there (its company policy)........
